Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Defending against live knife.
Holy cow. Didn't you tell us somebody inevitably gets cut in a knife fight?

I learned a lot of things from karate, but perhaps the best was the understanding that the part of my brain that works out physical things is nearly non-verbal -- if someone gives me instructions, what I really need is to step through the desired movement at half or quarter speed, and repeatedly, until the kinesthetic brain can think its way through without resorting to words.
That's when I realized I truly wasn't a klutz, I just had a learning disability. t knock wood To this very day, I've never broken a major bone, or for that matter delicater ones like digits and nose, et cetera. Last year when I tried curling and wiped out, the instructors were actually really impressed by how well I'd fallen.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
You gotta earn the privilege of playing with real knives. And don't think people don't -- the part of a putative black belt test I'm least looking forward to? Defending against live knife.
Yikes, ita! I mean, I understand the whole preparedness aspect of it. If you've successfuly defended against a real one, it's less likely to phase you if someone pulls one on the street, but still. Yow.

Apple store and Lush in one afternoon? Not sure I could handle that.

I could totally fight a stick. Grab it, break it over one knee, and it's paralyzed.

It sucks to be me, la la la la la! Move along, nothing to see here.
